2018 Fellowships Recipients
Four (4) Fellowships were awarded annually during the Q ANZAC 100: Memories for a New Generation project between 2015-2018. Valued at $15,000 each, these fellowships supported research projects that uncovered and explored untold stories about Queensland’s experience during the First World or other significant military campaign from the last 100 years.
One (1) of the Q ANZAC 100 Fellowships was awarded to a project that would use digital content to produce an innovative outcome.

Elaine Acworth: Digital Fellowship
Elaine’s project, Put out into the deep, will seek to develop an audio theatre piece around Australian Women’s Army Service (AWAS) personnel. In 1942 these women intercepted, deciphered and decoded encrypted Japanese military messages, thus providing vital intelligence to the Australian war effort. State Library collections will lend depth to the aural landscape of the project and provide fresh ways of engaging with our city’s historical landscape.
